summer bummer

shit. i have so much to say.

but first, an apology. i haven't been here for a few days and it's pretty much because i've been busy/lazy. a bunch of stuff has actually happened.

first of all, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. man. it was so chill, though. my last two finals were easy. then there was a fairly large sophomore bonfire at newport beach and i got the privilege to hang out with people whose companies i enjoy who also aren't my usual circle of friends. look at me, being social n' shit. 

then, FIRST DAY OF SUMMER. it would have been relaxing, but i had class at the community college and then volunteering at the fine arts center after. womp womp. it was still fun, though!

two sessions of the art history course i'm taking at the community college have passed. it's really easy so far because it's just a bunch of reading and basic vocab...we haven't even started learning about any movements yet. more on that as it develops.

volunteering has been a bit of work, but enjoyable all the same. i think i'm close to getting over my inherent awkwardness around small children (i never know what to say to them). turns out they're pretty easy to deal with. they probably think i'm like a 30 year old or something. i'm reminded of this one bit john mulaney performs (0:00-0:53).

i volunteer twice a week (so far) and the teacher for both the classes i volunteer for is the same guy. he's a solemn, heavyset scotsman. he has the kids draw simple animals, landscapes, and portraits. it's pretty damn cute. also, taking the bus has become easier and easier. i'm learning how to stabilize my center of balance while being in something that moves suddenly, jerkily, and violently. real world skills, people!

today, i went to class and was half bored half interested for 2 hours and 40 minutes. i also made this thing that's due on thursday:

the next picasso, amirite?!?!?!

well, i think that's it for now. hasta luego,
angela
